Awesome beachside stay

Loved this condo and the entire property. Comfy bed, couch and outdoor seating. Just a quick walk down the stairs and out the walkway to the beach. I enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife around the area. Steve the host is an excellent communicator.

Absolutely stunning direct ocean views

We stayed a full week in late July 2025. The owner Steven kept us updated during the entire booking process. Easy check-in process. The condo itself is ocean front with a short catwalk over the dunes to the beach. The property was ready for us exactly as promised. Clean, stocked with towels and linens. You do need to bring beach towels and chairs. Everything in the condo worked as expected. Great A/C units that kept the property comfortable even in 98 weather. The unit is perfect for a couple, but more than 2 or 3 people it would be rather cramped. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Crescent beach is beautiful and not overly crowded. We loved our time there and look forward to a return visit in their condo next summer. Steven was an excellent host. Highly recommend

Love the beach view!

The condo was ready on time, clean and tidy. While things are a bit dated, they have been well cared for and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and all the appliances function. The bed was very comfortable. The best feature is the the unobstructed view of the beach. We sat on the porch and watched the waves and at night we watched the stars. The hosts were attentive and easy to reach. I hope we have the opportunity to come back again.

Disliked: Cleanliness

This is the first negative review I’ve ever written. Condo described as cozy actually means very small. Furnishings were pretty dated. The noise from the air conditioner and the dehumidifier running were loud. The heat from the air conditioner is real eased on outside deck making the deck unusable on a hot summer day. These issues are not the reason I decide to stay in a hotel instead. The condo wasn’t very clean and the shower was nasty looking. Neither my wife or I would have used it. See pictures. We decided to get a room at the Marriott a coupe of miles away.For positives- the beach at this location is very nice and the pool area is large with showers for rinsing salt water from beach gear and yourself. I stored my beach wagon chairs and canopy in condo and stayed elsewhere to sleep and shower. Because of additional costs of renting hotel rooms we left a day earlier than planned. I probably wouldn’t have written a review at all, but we tried to make the owners aware of cleanliness issue so they could take care before renting it again.We were told it gets great reviews and we should have contacted VRBO.

Outdated

Excellent Stay

I can offer my unconditional positive recommendation for this property and the hosts. I stayed 11 days visiting friends in the area. The unit was clean, comfortable and met all of my needs. While I didn't have much need to communicate with the hosts when I did they responded immediately. Instructions were timely and helpful. They even contacted me to let me know of a space launch which I greatly appreciated. This unit isn't large - I think it best serves 1-3 people. The view from the balcony is awesome. I so enjoyed having morning coffee watching the sun rise over the ocean. Spectacular. I thought the entire property was well kept - including the pool area. So, in summary, every aspect of my stay went smoothly and met with my expectations. Should I visit the St. Augustine area in the future I would gladly stay in this unit again. Absolutely. Steve and Janet, thanks again!!

Winter getaway

I found the unit to be alittle outdated but that being said price and responsiveness clearly made up for it. The WiFi and bedroom tv were a challenge but if the weather had cooperated it wouldn’t have mattered. The unit owners were always quick to respond and even went out of their way to alert us to a rocket launch that could be seen from our porch. Overall I give this vacation a 5 and looking forward to next years return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean and well maintained. It’s very small, which adds to the comfort, coziness, and relaxation factor. It is perfect for a couple.

Beautiful sunrises

we had an excellent stay. Property was perfect for the two of us. The bed was very comfortable, had enough kitchen equipment and took advantage of the little beach pail on daily beach walk. Found some great seashells and just relaxed. It was quiet, the beach wasn't crowded. One tip, the lobby has coins for the washer and drier. Will definitely rebook. Thanks Smith family.

About the host

Hosted by Steven M Smith

My wife, Janet, and I bought this property at Beacher's Lodge as our personal dream vacation spot. After two years on the rental program, we decided to share this gem in Crescent Beach with close friends and other guests we met at Beacher's. Some of our guests have been staying in our unit for over 25 years, and we’re thrilled to share the space with others. We’ve received many wonderful written reviews, and it brings us joy to offer others the same experience we enjoy. The unit is "cozy," so we recommend no more than two adults.

Janet and I were married in 1995, and this was our first purchase together. We’ve always ensured our guests have everything they need, from special requests to everyday essentials that might have been forgotten. As avid travelers with over 50 cruises under our belt, we understand the importance of comfort in a smaller space like a condo. That’s why we continually add thoughtful amenities to make your stay happy and memorable.

All feedback is welcome, and if we’re booked for the dates you need, we can recommend other great options at Beacher's Lodge. Now retired, Janet and I live just an hour away in Jacksonville, FL. We only ask that you relax and enjoy yourself, and we’re just a call away if you have questions or need anything. "Leave it like you found it" is a phrase we like to use, but don’t stress over the small stuff—your room will always be fresh and clean. We hope to welcome you back again and again!

Why they chose this property

Steve first discovered Beacher's Lodge while running his own business installing cable TV in new constructions. He noticed the superior construction quality of Beacher's Lodge compared to other oceanfront condos being built in the mid-1980s. Beacher's is close to the ocean but protected by a double set of sand dunes, which are well-established and home to various wildlife like rabbits, gopher turtles, reptiles, and birds. Staying on the second floor offers a close but safe view of this natural habitat, unlike the first floor, where views can be obstructed and lack privacy. The second floor also allows you to enjoy the sound of the ocean with just a screen door, without worrying about wildlife intrusions. The heated pool is perfect year-round, with new chairs, tables, and umbrellas creating a relaxing atmosphere. Gated access to the pool and beach ensures security, and the new, lit, handicap-friendly boardwalk makes trips to the shoreline easy anytime. From the balcony, you can enjoy one of the best views of Crescent Beach, stretching across the entire nine-mile coastline. At night, the city lights are distant enough to see the stars yet close enough to spot the lighthouse sweeps and St. Augustine Pier lights—a stargazer's dream. With all the comforts of home, nearby attractions like the Ancient City and Marineland, and countless memories to create, this is truly the place to be.

What makes this property unique

Renting with Janet and me offers a personalized experience tailored to each traveler’s unique needs, ensuring your stay is unforgettable. We’ve equipped the unit with the latest technology for your convenience and recommend it for couples, as it’s not spacious enough for families larger than four. We’ve anticipated your needs while leaving room for you to explore and create your dream vacation. At Beacher’s Lodge, every day is perfect for enjoying the beach, which features a public park and draws a lively crowd during peak times. You can also drive on the beach with a permit—just make sure you have four-wheel drive. As Beacher’s Lodge is a condo-hotel, you’ll enjoy guest privileges while adhering to posted regulations. With so much to do nearby, you’ll find yourself wanting to return time and time again. Every day in St. Augustine, Florida, brings a new adventure.
